| RMAF 2012 Postmortem Thanks Dpe. I'm prone to earbleed and fatigue from etched audiophile detail, but I've not noticed the buzz.John | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Was Michael Murphy really a one hit wonder? What about "Geronimo's Cadillac"? | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem Dpe: Wondering if you'd elaborate on your issues with tinnitus and ribbons? Too edgy? I find this sometimes (eg Salk HTL-TL w/Van Alstine, RMAF 2010), but not others (Vapor on a number of occasions).Mrtennis: I heard various people comment on how ... | |
| Bookshelf speaker ideas.... Well Moverbob, I think with the difference between 300 and 1000 means different animals, esp. you are considering used, so you might ant to narrow your ideal range a bit.For example, I'd be surprised if the below linked Montana Monitors were not p... | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem I totally agree, Stickman, the big Ventures were jaw dropping; surprised the are not on every best of show list. For example, I thought they were in a completely different category -- and obviously so -- than the new Wilsons, which made some peopl... | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem Mrtennis: Like others, I found the Sanders impressive. The MSRP seemed pretty reasonable, as these things go, at 10k -- although I note that's a lot more than the Maggie 3.7. Unsurprisingly, the Sanders are big: not super wide, but maybe 7' tall.P... | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem Dpe:Yes, I meant the Orangutans, not the Gibbons. I expect the 96s were better than the 93s, but at a cost uptick from 8 to 12k, and I thought the 93s had *a lot* of what I liked in the 96s, particularly a certain sweetness of sound. My hunch is t... | |
| New Music Recommendations 2012 "Lowe Country," a Country/Folk tribute to Nick Lowe, if it hasn't been mentuoned (or if it has been mentioned).John | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII Goldmanjay: What is your connection right now? What exactly is the problem with your set up? (I don't know the Ayre, but I've hear the M2M in an excellent system, and I'd expect your sound to be very good.)If you are using USB or another hard wire... | |
| using a jumper cable - connect which set of post? My experience,and the experience of the two guys who listened with me, was that there was a readily detectable difference between using the top and bottom -- more readily detectable than a lot of other differences routinely claimed to be "not subt... | |
| Music that everyone else loves but you just don't I'm now officially without opinions on Kiss, but my failure to like them in middle school was a serious social handicap.Another weird ZZ Top fact: Billy Gibbons guest starring on the TV show "Bones" as Angela's wayward father. I suspect him of lip... | |
| Music that everyone else loves but you just don't A friend of mine (the guitar tech for a pretty major act) recently saw ZZ Top and reported that they were lip synching. The Texas Blues as dance pop.Like the a good bit of the records, tho (in smaller doses).John | |
| Narrowing Down the Speaker Search Unsound, I don't doubt it. I'm just speaking from my experience of comparing the INT-30A to more powerful amps driving the same speakers. The difference in the lows is not hard to miss. Based on my experience, I'd say that you'd be wasting both am... | |
| Narrowing Down the Speaker Search Don't let the implied 30 Watt rating of the Pass Int 30A dissuade you from considering speakers that might otherwise seem to need more power or have a lower impedance load.My experience with my INT-30A (which I love), is that the comparatively low... | |
| Narrowing Down the Speaker Search In that room -- or any room -- you're going to want an efficient speaker. Despite the "higher than rated" talk about the low watt Pass amps, the INT-30A does not have a ton of grunt. Zu would be one obvious place to look at your pricepoint. I hear... |
